Felix, Dedue enter the scene

Felix

Hold a moment, dog.

Dedue

Are you speaking to me?

Felix

I don't see anyone else here, do you? You're that boar's lapdog.

Dedue

Do not mock His Highness.

Felix

Ha, spoken like a good pet.

Felix

Why do you follow him with such devotion? Do you really think a man like that is worth it?

Dedue

Faerghus destroyed my homeland.

Dedue

Burned it all to the ground. Slaughtered my people.

Felix

The punishment of Duscur.

Dedue

My father, my mother, my sibling—all were killed. We received no aid. No respite.

Dedue

Faerghus murdered our dignity and torched our pride. His Highness is different.

Dedue

He is the only one who sees my people as human.

Dedue

He risked his life to save mine. And it is thanks to him that I no longer wish for death.

Felix

That's what we call "blind obedience."

Felix

Tell me. Would you give your life for him?

Dedue

Yes.

Felix

And what if he commanded you to join him in a senseless massacre?

Dedue

I would do it.

Felix

Even a massacre of children, or the elderly, or your own comrades?

Dedue

Without hesitation.

Dedue

You have misunderstood me.

Dedue

I am the sword and shield of His Highness. Weapons do not have a will of their own.

Felix

Blind obedience.

Felix

You're right. I did misunderstand. I shouldn't have called you a lapdog.

Felix

You're a rabid cur. You and the boar prince make quite a team—two crazed animals.

Dedue

I warned you not to mock His Highness.

Dedue

I am aware you have a history of friendship with him, but one more word...

Felix

I've said my piece. Scamper back to your master.
